Biology 11 Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Human Impact Project
Your annotated bibliography will give an account of the research that has been done on a given topic. In addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a concise summary of each source and some assessment of its value or relevance.
Use the checklist below to ensure that your annotated bibliography fulfills the criteria introduced during the lesson.
Annotated Bibliography Checklist
Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What is the point of this book or article? What are the main arguments? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. How credible is the source and why? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source? Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography?
Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
Annotation Criteria:
Completed APA citation is included. Offers a brief summary of the source (2-3 sentences)
Offers an assessment of the source: credibility/reliability - and why?
Offers an assessment of the source: bias/objectivity - how so?
Offer a reflection: was this source helpful to you? How?
Offer a reflection: what are its limitations: how effective is its method of investigation? how good is the evidence?
